Long time, no see! We've got a flurry of news to share here! While we are mostly active on our Twitter accounts, with how things have been going lately, if we don't post within 30 days of the previous post, our account could get shut down. We will try to make an effort to post major updates on our website as well to avoid potential loss of major news. First up, we have a new item in store: an acrylic standee featuring the entire JAE VOCAL PROJECT cast, made in celebration of our group's 5th Anniversary! It stands at around 2.5 inches and the width is around 6 inches. Each of the characters use their default outfits. This standee was designed by Mian; be sure to follow her for more amazing art! Unlike the other pieces of merchandise, this standee will only be available for a limited time and will not be restocked. The pre-order will run until July 1, 2023 at 12 AM USA Eastern Time. But as a special offer, here's what you'll get when you order a standee:
Next is in regards to the MMD models for Xiao Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Xiao Shancha. We were aware that the download links for them were long broken. After speaking with Orahi, we were given permission to upload the models through our dropbox. That said, the links to the models have been updated on those characters' pages. Please be aware of any changes to his Terms of Use and to follow them accordingly! You also may have noticed that we've shared two new demos for Ser0 featuring her update known as "Ser02"! Ser02 will feature some new individual voicebanks, so we hope you look forward to those! Check out these two demos by Purpled! The first is a cover of "Chimera" by ATOLS, with the UST by half a head. The second is a cover of "Ponzi" by Kyoe. This uses Ser02's Appends "AWARE" and "PASSIVE". Hope you're looking forward to what we have in store for Ser0! Closing this out, May 15 is kEna's birthday! This year marks 3 years since he released on UTAU! We've commissioned Reishichi for his official illustration. Here he is among nature, looking as handsome as ever in this peaceful location! We hope that you enjoy everything we had to show lately! Things have been slowing down for a while now, but rest assured, we are still working on new stuff! Be sure to follow our Twitter to keep track of mini updates like anniversary artwork and songs!
Thank you for all your support! Until next time!

Today marks the 2nd anniversary of JD's original UTAU release! This year, we've created a new keychain in collaboration with faynatical and updated the current line up! It is based on his 1st anniversary outfit, much like how Ser0's is based on her 3rd anniversary. And because it's JD's birthday month, throughout December, you can get his keychains at a discounted price, so take advantage of it while you can! To get your very own and add to your collection, the item link is here! In other news, we regret to announce that the Twitter accounts for Xiao Meihua, Xiao Meiye, Xiao Shancha, and Yu Junjie have officially closed on December 1 this year. It was a difficult decision to make. We've had a lot of fun with the accounts, but as we have more projects to complete and not much time to work on them, it became difficult to manage the side accounts.
Thank you to everyone who supported them after all these years, especially for Meihua's account as it existed before our JAE account and even our website. Remember that she and Ser0 were both released long before it was decided that they and the rest of the cast would be part of a single group. That being said, the both of them carried a good portion of JAE VOCAL PROJECT's history. This concludes today's news. It's rather bittersweet, but we are very thankful for all the support and are always excited to brighten someone else's day! We're not sure if we will have any additional news for the rest of the year, so if not, from the bottom of our hearts, we wish you a wonderful holiday season and a fantastic new year! We hope you all stay safe! It's been a long time since we've last updated the website and a lot went on since then! We've had several new uploads, including full versions of older demos. We'll be showing all of them here, as well as get to the main course of this article: Junjie's birthday! Since the upload of the "Karakuri Pierrot" cover by Mina Moonrise featuring Xiao Meihua, not long after that, we've released the full version of one of the Shancha and Meihua Japanese DeepVocal demos, "Heart Chrome", which was originally written by HachiojiP and q*Left. The cover was by yakou using SeeU&KPOP's VSQx file, with illustrations by Chunnyeol and video editing by Cluemily. This was uploaded in June. In September, the full version of "Blind", which was originally written by JUSF, was uploaded and was one of Meihua's Chinese DeepVocal demos (also featuring the voice of Yi as harmonies). The cover was created by Migi and used Uryan's and Marukun's sequences. It was mixed by Mina Moonrise, illustrated by Jijiilong, and the video was edited by ame。. Finally, on November 13, for Yu Junjie's first anniversary, we released the full version of "Nenchaku-kei Danshi no 15-nen Nechinechi", originally written by Ie no Ura de Manbou ga ShinderuP. The cover was done and mixed by Mina Moonrise using nmasao1's UST. The illustration was done by HJ and video edits were by Preuss. This also used kimchi-tan's oto, so keep in mind that if you download Junjie's voice, it's not the same oto. By default, his oto is by Purpled. But this doesn't end here! In addition to the new PV upload, we've also updated faynatical's acrylic keychain line to include Junjie's Japanese UTAU outfit! This line was the very first set of keychains we've ever produced and released! Now, a matching Junjie could be added to your collection if you wish! To order, the shop link is here. Keep in mind, for the entire month of November, Junjie's keychains are discounted. This also applies to the new faynatical one, so take advantage of it while you can! That's all we have for the latest updates! Hopefully, we'll stay more on track in keeping the site running smoothly with future news. We hope you enjoy this new content! Thank you always for supporting JAE VOCAL PROJECT, its creators, and its line of vocalists! Until next time!
Today is Xiao Meihua's fifth anniversary! This year, we've uploaded a new cover of "Karakuri Pierrot", originally written by 40mP! The cover was handled by Mina Moonrise with illustrations by 02Kase-chan! This uses the VSQx by Mark LawX and the harmony vocals feature our affiliate from The StarRise Project: Seishi Starchaser! The cover is available on YouTube and bilibili! In the PV, you'll also notice cameos of Ser0, Xiao Shancha, JD, kEna, and Yu Junjie! Unfortunately, Canary couldn't make it, but we'll find a way to make it up to him for sure!
In addition, since it's June, all Xiao Meihua and Xiao Meiye keychains are on sale for the month! Please check out our official Ko-Fi shop if you're are interested in obtaining either character! Thank you very much for supporting Meihua after all these years! JAE VOCAL PROJECT has come a long way since then and we hope it shows! Today marks kEna's first anniversary! This year, Feng Quan and Preuss collaborated together on a cover of Giga and Reol's "Hibikase" using KIRA's UST! Feng Quan handled the cover and mixing while Preuss did the illustrations and video editing. The videos are uploaded to Preuss's YouTube, Feng Quan's bilibili, and Migi's bilibili! As usual, since kEna's anniversary is in May, his Love Confessions keychain is discounted at our shop. We haven't written an updated status about our official store, but we are no longer using Storenvy due to issues with accessing it and checking out based on customers' responses. Instead, we have moved to Ko-Fi, which uses Migi's name. There, fans can still purchase the keychains by faynatical and Nekocopicat among other things that aren't related to UTAU or DeepVocal. This offer is only available this month, so if fans were looking to purchase kEna at a cheaper price, now is a good time to do so.
We hope that you enjoy the video! Thank you very much for supporting kEna and the rest of JAE VOCAL PROJECT! Today marks Xiao Shancha's 2nd anniversary and we've got a new song for you! What's more, it's not featuring one of her existing voicebanks: it's a demo of her upcoming Mandarin voicebank! The song is "千里邀月" by 纯白P and 千月兔. It was covered by MinaKi (using jerrybowang's UST) and uses the original video. The demo is also available on SoundCloud and bilibili! Shancha's Mandarin voicebank was recorded in the summer of last year and was developed throughout the fall by Ryan-kun. This language is planned to be made available for both UTAU and DeepVocal, with UTAU using Shancha's default design by Purpled (as it was always intended to be for Mandarin) and DeepVocal using a different "boxart". While we are hoping to release this in 2021, it's possible that Shancha may need re-recordings and adjustments to her oto. In addition, we do have other projects to try to finish and release (such as Xiao Meihua's CVVChinese update). Because of these reasons, it's possible Shancha could be pushed back to 2022 or later.
In addition, because it's still February, the discount to Canary's and Shancha's keychains are still ongoing on Storenvy! In our haste, we would like to make a correction to the previous news post. Xiao Naidong, Shancha's male derivative, would also be receiving this discount as he would be sharing the same birthday as Shancha. We are only halfway through February, so if any of these three characters interested you, now would be a good time to get one while they're still discounted! Thank you all for supporting JAE VOCAL PROJECT and for sticking with us for so long! We can't wait to show you what else we have coming up! Until next time! There's so many things that are happening for February 2021! For starters, Canary and Xiao Shancha's 2nd anniversaries are taking place. Canary was released on February 2, 2019 and Shancha released on February 16, 2019. Because of this, throughout the whole month of February, customers can purchase Canary's and Shancha's keychains for 20%! If either character was someone you wanted to collect, now would be a good time to do so until the sale expires in March. For Canary, we haven't prepared an anniversary song for him. We do have some interesting plans coming, but they're not ready to be revealed just yet! Instead, we commissioned a piece from E.via and he came out stunning~! For Shancha, we do have something planned for her anniversary but it will not be revealed until February 16. In the meantime, her MMD model was just released by OSformula! The team collaborated with kimchi-tan (tuning) and Starchaser-C (video) in creating the MMD cover video to promote the model! MinaKi worked on the mixing! The song is "Gokuraku Jodo" which was originally performed by GARNiDELiA. Shancha's model is available for download now and the site can be accessed from her own webpage. If you plan to use her, please be sure to follow OSformula's terms of use. Remember that his rules may override our own (for example: if JAE VOCAL PROJECT allows NSFW, but OSformula does not, his rules are in effect, not ours). Lastly, we are sad to announce that Purpled, the manager and voice actress of Ser0 (JAE-02), as well as a longtime illustrator and designer of many of the cast members, has left JAE VOCAL PROJECT. She is interested in creating more of her own works, so she is still in touch with the voice synthesizer community, however, she ceased JAE VOCAL PROJECT activities. We strongly encourage that you continue to support her in her endeavors and we wish her luck! Due to this, the website has been updated to place Purpled under "Former Members" along with bajucy.
If you are curious, Ser0 is still part of JAE VOCAL PROJECT and will still receive merchandise if we come up with any new ones, but she will no longer be receiving any updates or new voicebanks. We hope you still like her as she is and look forward to any plans we may have in regard to songs or items! It's still hard to believe that it's January and that the first week had already flown by! After January comes February, which means that Valentine's Day is coming up as well! With that in mind, JAE VOCAL PROJECT decided to create new merchandise to reflect the holiday: Love Confessions designed by nekocopicat! This line consists of nine keychains: the seven cast members (Meihua, Ser0, Canary, Shancha, JD, kEna, and Junjie) and the two officially recognized derivatives (Meiye and Naidong)! Each of them have a unique pose and expression while wearing their default clothes, except for Meihua and Canary. Meihua is wearing her Arpasing English outfit while Canary is wearing his Arpasing English Vivid Soft outfit (the voicebank is not released at this time). These acrylic keychains are also holographic, giving a shine at every angle you turn it! To add onto the theme, the clips are shaped as hearts. To order these keychains, visit the JAE VOCAL PROJECT Storenvy located in the navigation bar of our website! If you would like to see these as future stickers, buttons, and other goods via Redbubble, let us know and we'll see what we can do for that if possible!
Like with the previous keychains by Melody, only Meihua, Ser0, Canary, and Shancha will come with the free 25mm buttons by winter. If the seven main cast members (excluding Meiye and Naidong) were purchased, then the postcard by oweruru will be distributed. Both of these are available while supplies last: once they are gone, they will not be restocked! We hope that you like these new keychains! It's a wonder that we can finally add more to the shop compared to some years ago and we're genuinely pleased to share these cute ideas with you all! It's a brand new year! We hope that you've had a wonderful holiday season and hope 2021 treats you well! Along with celebrating the New Year, it also means that we are celebrating Ser0, for she was released on January 1, 2017! For her 4th anniversary, we released a new song cover. It's "Splitting Apart", originally written by MinaKi in 2016. The cover and mixing was handled by Feng Quan while the illustrations and animations were done by Preuss. This was one of Purpled's favorite songs by MinaKi and it suits Ser0's voice very well! The song is available on YouTube, SoundCloud, and bilibili. Secondly, for our latest shop update, Ser0's keychain by Melody is also on sale for 25% off, bringing the price down to $6 instead of $8. This sale will be in effect throughout January, so if you were interested in purchasing her keychain, now would be a good time to do so! We still have amazing things coming for JAE VOCAL PROJECT soon: maybe this month... maybe next month... who knows? Only time will tell!
We hope you're looking forward to what comes next! We have new merchandise available on Storenvy: 4 double-sided keychains with front-side glitter epoxy! These feature the first characters of JAE VOCAL PROJECT, each with a distinct design: Xiao Meihua (DeepVocal), Ser0 (3rd Anniversary), Canary (UTAU Japanese 1.0), and Xiao Shancha (DeepVocal). The art was illustrated by Melody (@faynatical). A few specials are offered for these keychains:
Please keep in mind that due to COVID-19, shipments may be delivered later than usual. In addition, for overseas customers, please refer to this website to see if shipping services are available from the USA to you!
Want to see these as stickers, buttons, and more on Redbubble? Well, we will be making these available later. From now on, keychain designs that are also perfectly compatible for Redbubble will be made available after about at least three months since their initial debut, but you can always purchase them as keychains after that unless it's been decided to retire them. We have many more merchandise ideas circulating, but we can't show them to you just yet. For now, we hope you like these keychains by Melody! |
